News: Max factory figma Urusei Yatsura Lum

Max Factory recently released Lum under their figma line of action figures, for those of you old enough to remember, the story of Urusei Yatsura surrounds the antics of a scantily dressed alien, Lum, trying to make peace with her romantic interest in an earthling while terrorizing him and everything else on the side. It's a loose description based on memory, I am sure you can get more information from wikipedia. Until then, you can own Lum for around 2300 yen...and cosplay version of Lum is not included.

Review: Max Factory Figma PlaWres Sanshirou

PlaWres Sanshirou was a comic from the 80's that I loved. It's about a bunch of kids building and customizing very cool mechanical robot wrestler the size of a 1/6 action figure, and pitching them against one another in the wrestling ring. For dramatic effects, the wrestling match usually is presented in a psuedo environment, sort of like fighting inside the holodeck...

These figures from Max Factory are well made. The sculpting is superb, and the material used is resin like, and very well painted as well. I much prefer the material used here than that of the Revoltech series.

Each figure comes with a zip-lock bag, a stand, several pairs of hands, 3 faces.

Pictured here are Sakura in her sakurahime incarnation and Sanshirou in his Juuoumaru incarnation. As you can see, they are very posable. Sakurahime is, well, nicely proportioned...(^_^)

Artstorm released a 1/1 scale Ex Gokin Juuoumaru, which I hope to post my review in the near future.
